ABOUT THE VENUE
Saint John showcases living history, urban energy, and natural splendour. The waterfront convention facilities and many of our hotel rooms have a breath-taking view of the Bay of Fundy. Compact and convenient, Saint John is a safe and walkable city, with galleries, restaurants, bars and boutiques to explore all within a few blocks. The ‘Inside Connection’ pedway system (Atlantic Canada’s longest indoor, climate-controlled walkway system) makes exploring easy. This extensive pedway system connects the entire uptown and waterfront core. Find shopping, entertainment, dining, recreation, and culture all under one roof.

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
Sheri Vucci | ERAPPA President | Smithsonian Institution
On behalf of the Board of Directors, welcome to the website for the Eastern Region of APPA. As the regional affiliate of APPA International that spans the Eastern United States and Canada, our organization promotes and facilitates the learning and engagement of facilities professionals. We provide professional development scholarships to our institutional members, as well as educational programming and networking opportunities for all of our members.
There are ample opportunities to take advantage of that ERAPPA and APPA have to offer. If you are not already involved, I would encourage you to seek out your local chapter and attend their meetings. These meetings provide low cost professional development and networking opportunities. ERAPPA’s annual meeting held each fall is another great venue for learning, meeting colleagues, and developing relationships with our many supportive business partners. In addition, ERAPPA and the chapter provide APPA-sponsored professional development throughout the year. Look for announcements about Supervisor’s Toolkit, Leadership Academy, Pathway to Professionalism (P2P), Certified Educational Facilities Professional (CEFP) credentialing, and webinars. Lastly, explore the many resources and training that are available through APPA. The value is unbeatable.
Please explore the website to see the opportunities are available to you – your local chapters, ERAPPA, and APPA have much to offer to help you be a successful facilities management professional.
As you peruse the website and find that you have questions, please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you may have. Your input is important; ERAPPA is YOUR organization.
